You are invited to our complimentary Exceptional Connections – Conversation to Connect – Let’s Get Real Podcast with Cyndi ONeill-Dady and her guest Laurie Hardie in our 83rd Episode on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2025 from Noon to 1pm (PST) as we discuss “Living a Legacy.”
🎙️ Meet Our Guest: Laurie Hardie
Laurie Hardie is a beloved Seattle radio host, author, speaker, podcaster, and coach who has spent more than three decades helping people share their stories with courage and clarity. As a former single mom of three—and now “Grandma LaLa” to six—Laurie understands the profound value of capturing life’s moments, honoring our experiences, and passing wisdom from one generation to the next.
Laurie is passionate about helping women speak in a way that truly connects. During the pandemic, she made a powerful discovery: many podcasters, Zoom facilitators, and online leaders believed they were communicating inclusively, but their methods were unintentionally isolating listeners. Drawing from her 35+ years in broadcasting and her degree in social services, Laurie now teaches people how to make their voices more inviting, intentional, and impactful.
Her newest offering, the 7-Day Podcast Pro program, blends storytelling, communication strategy, and on-air experience to help anyone launch or elevate their podcast with confidence.
🌱 What This Episode Is About
Every person has stories worth sharing—stories that heal, connect, empower, teach, guide, and inspire. In this heartfelt conversation, Laurie and Cyndi explore how storytelling helps us create a living legacy that lasts long after we’re gone.
Whether you choose to record audio, capture video, journal your experiences, or launch your own podcast, your stories matter.
Laurie reminds us that your life is made of hundreds of moments, and each one has the power to touch someone else’s heart. Your legacy begins the moment you decide to hit record.
